Based loosely on a coffee cake my granny used to make, this simple to make and bake dessert is perfect with coffee or tea.

It was also an ideal way to use up the last harvest of fresh blackberries from our garden. Choose fresh or frozen berries, or even a can of fruit like peaches or cherries. Fruit, flour, sugar, eggs, baking soda, oil, salt, and vanilla are all you need for this blackberry coffee cake recipe.
